Prajwal Chougale - PeerSpot reviewer
System Analyst at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Centralized threat hunting has improved alert accuracy and simplifies incident investigations
I would say there are two areas for improvement: the reporting dashboard that provides insights or reports weekly or monthly lacks detailed information about how logs are being ingested. While the details are there, they could be more concise and easier to understand for any level of authority. The second area is alert tuning; compared to Microsoft Sentinel, Rapid7 InsightIDR provides fewer alerts with more static alert functionality and lacks dynamic alerting exposures. There could be improvements to learn from past alert activities for more dynamic alert configurations. These two areas are the main areas for improvement; everything else is good.
Roftiel Constantine - PeerSpot reviewer
Global Chief Information Security Officer at Barry-Wehmiller
Provides proactive threat remediation, reduces alert volume, and enhances incident response capabilities
During our pre-purchase evaluation of SentinelOne's EDR capabilities three years ago, we were consistently impressed by the positive relationships customers reported having with SentinelOne's engineers, sales teams, and customer success managers. These strong relationships, evident in the customers' unsolicited feedback, highlighted the "soft skills" and intangible qualities that SentinelOne possessed. This positive customer experience has been mirrored in our own interactions with them. Their responsiveness to our needs, particularly when addressing a couple of challenges we faced, has been excellent. They proactively scheduled weekly meetings to demonstrate their commitment to resolving our issues, a customer-centric approach I admire. SentinelOne's dedication to customer service, including their rapid technology updates and responsiveness to our suggestions, has been crucial to our success in protecting our organization. Their ability to quickly incorporate our needs into new releases is truly impressive and sets them apart. Overall, I highly recommend SentinelOne based on our positive interactions across all levels of their organization.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is budget-friendly and has a good market position because not everybody can afford to go for LogRhythm or Splunk or QRadar."
"The biggest reason why we chose Rapid7 was to gain value in a really quick time. Its deployment doesn't take months. It just takes a few days."
"It improved my organization by building a security alerting program."
"I have seen that Rapid7 InsightIDR provides security to the networks and endpoints in the company."
"​​User behavioral analytics allows us to pinpoint abnormal or suspicious behavior among millions of events every day."
"I am able to run automated actions based on the output of reports, leaving me extra time to focus on more pressing matters."
"Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall."
"The UI is very good."
"Having high visibility into all of our network concerns and a customizable UI are the most valuable features."
"The threat detection capability is the most valuable feature."
"SentinelOne enhances our customers' risk management."
"The AI-based detection, scanning, prevention and mitigation features are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is its ability to detect based on behavior rather than just static signatures."
"I like the detection and protection features. We don't need to do anything, and it will alert us when the mitigation is not successful. We only need to target those endpoints. Otherwise, we don't have to do anything about that."
"The effectiveness of their AI and behavioral analysis helps mitigate zero-day activities and detect new threats."
"The AI provides a futuristic ML model. That helps a lot when it comes to shifting security approaches and hep better forecast attacks."
 

Cons

"I'd like to be able to get the compliance report within the solution which is currently not possible."
"One thing that springs to mind is easier API integration with ITSMs."
"They should add more configuration and security features to it."
"I would like the ability to adjust the threshold of certain existing alerts. Currently the only option is to change the notifications or create my own alert."
"Tenable Nessus is easier to deal with. It's more efficient and accurate. InsightIDR is heavier than Tenable in terms of performance and scanning. Rapid7 would be much easier to use if it had a network connector like Tenable. Tenable's connector allows continuous monitoring over the B caps."
"The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules."
"The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve"
"One of the things that could be better is digital forensics. It is there, but it can be better. They could provide more on the endpoint detection level."
"We've brought three critical items to their attention regarding vulnerability management."
"Agent connectivity can be improved, as it is one aspect of the product with certain shortcomings."
"Regarding improvements, I believe that API integration in third-party applications could be better."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"Sometimes I get kicked out of the console. I don't know why."
"One area for improvement would be the self-healing nature of the agent."
"Our company has different locations, such as Sunbury, Oklahoma, and Alabama. I have my devices by location, and I have not found a way to choose all the endpoints and then push the update automatically. I have been doing it one by one."
"The resolution turnaround from SentinelOne Singularity Identity's support should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is a cheaply priced product. On a scale of one to ten, where one is very expensive, and ten is very cheap, I rate the product's price at seven or eight."
"Licensing is by endpoint and amount of retention time (at least ours is). Default retention was one year, but we are able to push the retention further if needed. There's also a provide-your-own-S3 option for longer retention if you don't want to pay for the additional retention years in your Rapid7 agreement."
"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."
"​I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability.​"
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity's pricing is cheaper than CrowdStrike and is really good."
"Its price is a little bit high. It is a nice product, but it comes at a cost. Compared to other products, it is not cheap, but you sometimes have to pay for the value you get. It is not cheap, but it is worth it."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product...I think the prices associated with the product are okay and it is not too expensive."
"The pricing is a bit high."
"The cost of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is better than CrowdStrike."
"As a SentinelOne partner, we offer competitive pricing on comprehensive packages that include the SentinelOne license, our management services, and a proof-of-concept to ensure the technology meets your needs."
"Ideally, I would like SentinelOne to lower their prices a little bit."
"The price is affordable."
